Sacramento VS.. FLORIDA.

J. S. Acker, of Birmingham, Ala, and
newspaper man, is spending a few weeks
in Sacramento and vicinity, and is very
greatly pleased with this section. What
he cannot understand, he says, is how we
are blessed with such semi-trepical climate
and can so successfully grow all the citrus
fruits at this latitude, which in Alabama
one of the Gulf States, and hundreds of
miles further south than Sacramento-snoW
falls each winter, and such freezing weather
is experienced that oranges and lemons
cannot be grown. The appearance of ripe
oranges and lemons in so many yards sur
rounding residences in Sacramento he &C
cepts as inconteStible evidence that Central
California enjoys Floridas winter climate,
without being taxed with its mosquitoes,
alligators and depressing hot weather of
the summer months.
AssAULTING A CHINAMEN.-Last evening
Chinese restaurant hand, carrying a tray
of dishes, accidentally jostled downtown
hotel bus driver named Louis Stone, when
the latter, who was partly under the infu-
ence of holiday whisky, knocked the tray
from the Mongol's grasp, scattering the
crockery in every direction. The China
man protested, but got no satisfaction.
Stone then chased the Monaghan into the
street. and was about 10 strike him when
officers Rider and Carroll put in an appear
ance, and attempted to take Stone to the
lookup. After going but a short distance
with the officers he declined to proceed any
further, and made a show of fight. The
officers found it necessary to throw him to
place handouts on his wrists. AT the sta
tion-house he was charged with malicious
mischief. When not intoxicated Stone is a
very quiet, peaceable man, but very small
amount of liquor transforms him into
dangerous individual
DEATH OF E. a. KARcHER.-Edward A.
Karcher, son of Matt Karcher, died at the
family residence, northwest corner of
Seventh and NJ streets, shortly after noon on
Saturday last. Deceased was in his twenty
fourth year, Sacramento-raised and edu-
Gated boy, kind and manly, and one who
had many friends. His sudden death was
peculiarly sad one. A few days ago he
went to a dentist to have a troublesome
tooth removed. By some mysterious man
ner the extracting of the tooth wounded the
jaw and blood poisoning set in. The dis
ease spread through his system with rapidity
and baf1led medical skill. The funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon at clock.

TRUTHFUL UNCLE GEoRGE-The Portland
Daily Ners in speaking of the last spike
party says: The name of uncle George
W Chesley is not an unfamiliar one to the
argonauts of 40. He is a resident of Sac
ramento, and proud of it. That he is a
high liver is apparent at glance get onto
his shape. That he is one of the old bows
is also painfully obvious. He was the life
of the California delegation, and his stories
are simply marvellous, or as uncle George
expresses il, they are true upon my honor
as q pioneer, for it is cardinal rule of the
Pioneer society, of which l have served two
terms as President, that no member shall
tell lie. J."
